Jeremy Corbyn Shows His Party is Not Chaotic But In Touch With All

Jeremy Corbyn who is hoping to become the Prime Minster of Great Britain was welcomed by thousands of people in Hull.

As an event, it was very cleverly put together, staged, to some extent, by the Labour Party and was interesting to watch how people, banners and placards were strategically placed for the cameras.

Even the speakers were carefully selected delivering talks that dealt directly with issues that have impacted the wider region telling the stories of how hard-working people have been let down, not once but time and time again.

From the moment he arrived the PR people worked their magic, hand picking the all too familiar sight that we have borrowed from US politics of supporters standing behind the candidate and handing out big signs for happy followers to wave above their heads.

Of course, all this means nothing. What does mean something is the unity that people who were there all felt, as Corbyn himself pointed out the crowd was a diverse one, mainly young, but made up of white, black, Asian, disabled, straight and gay people.

I got the impression from the rally that this was about getting people to vote, the final push to get the 2 million or so young people who chose not to engage with politics. These are the voters Corbyn feels can change the outcome in any seat throughout the UK.

Some parts were very uncomfortable for me. There was a savage attack on the media by John Prescott, which when you are surrounded by a pumped-up crowd covering an event while balanced on a wall is really unhelpful.

Prescott’s comments actually made me question if their slogan was correct, because at that point, I really was concerned for my safety as the crowds jeering grew as he slammed publication after publication.

As Prescott played bad cop, it was left to Corbyn, a victim of so many personal attacks, to play the good guy. He laid out why Labour represented all, and not just the rich and the corporations that will benefit from the Conservative manifesto.

The Conservatives say that Labour are a ‘chaotic’ party that cannot be trusted to organise themselves, well based on today, I can assure you that is simply not true. Their leader and the people around him worked like a well-oiled machine, and the public loved them.

There is a reason a large majority of young people are following Labour. It is because these days they have access to more information, are more liberal in their views and given how diverse the UK is embrace everyone.

It is no longer fashionable to crush and victimise others because they are different, or because they are not from the social elite. Education and high numbers of people going to university have helped people from through out the UK and from all walks of lives forge friendships and respect for one another.

It is clear from this event that there is no such thing as a safe seat and judging by the amount of people who were there from Beverley we could see a lot closer race then some, myself included, have predicted with regard to who will win in Beverley & Holderness.

You may not like Jeremy Corbyn, but his politics are far fairer and much more favourable to young people with aspirations and for our society as a whole, and that seems to be getting to people.
